Default Teddy



..a premium from the Jack Armstrong Radio Show , brought to you by General Mills Cereal ; it's a glossy black and white photo , blank back , 5 x 7 ; looks much better in hand because the scanner setting is ''color''.....the sign on the wall reads :
"Players Must Not Bat
The Ball Toward The
Grandstand During Prac-
Tice"
...............................I believe the bottom says "The New York Baseball Club" but it's very small and I can't be sure of it.....I've never seen this particular shot of Teddy used for any other purpose , and I've seen hundreds. There is some evidence pointing to 1941 as year of issue and then Pearl Harbor happened and evidently the premium offer stopped abruptly...Jack Armstrong , The All American Boy , went to war.
